Dead Unit :(

Hi Guys,
I am hoping somebody can help me out here. I came home from work this evening to find that my Transformer was not powering up? At first I thought the batteries (both in the tablet, and the dock) had died, so I plugged it into the mains....nothing
Not even the little light on the side to show it is charging. I have checked different power sockets, and tried to see if my PC would recognize it...again, nothing.
I have tried charging through the dock and direct into the tab...nothing.
I was running the Prime ROM so if I sent it back to Asus I am sure they would reject any warranty claim. Can anybody think what the problem could be or give any advice?
Thanks in advance
Ben

Press power button for like 25 seconds to see if the tablet will restart.
Check if you can go on APX mod and try nvflash.
If this doesnt work i think you can easily RMA your unit without worrying about warranty.

Hi, have tried all this but nothing at all. I will try and send it back (any ideas how I go about doing that?) and hope they don't realize I had a non standard system on there.
Unless anybody else has any ideas?
Still have no idea how it happened though, both the tablet AND the keyboard? Both were working fine less that 24 hours ago!

actually sounds like you may have broken your charger (the cable) as you said BOTH devices wouldn't charge. I would look for another charger (find someone who will loan you theirs) or buy another online, just to check and see if I am right. Dunno what else to say, if it isn't the charger and your tablet won't turn on or charge, then there should be absolutly no worry about RMAing it.

I second trying a new charger. I bought one TF and the charger was DOA, after some research, apparently this is the weak point of the Asus...they make really junk chargers. You PC won't charge the TF either, at least not in the standard sense, the TF requires +12 volts to charge, if you plug into a PC over night (5volts or.whatever) you may only get a couple of percent.
If both dock and tab aren't charging, and Asus is known for crap chargers, then logic would dictate that you have a bad charger... That or you have a bad dock and tablet... A less likely scenario. Radio shack sells a 12v charger with a USB end that will charge your TF perfectly... I have one as a backup, cost 25 bucks. Good luck.

I agree with both you guys! I think its the charger also; my reasoning behind this is I left the cable plugged into my PC and every now and then it attempts to boot, it even got to the lock screen once and then turned off.
As you say USB charging does work...just very...very...slowly!
I assume it was just a bad coincidence that both dock and tablet got drained at the same time as my charger dying! I will try and get my hands on another charger to see what happens
Cheer

I got the same problem. Since I have two TFs in the house, the charger was quickly ruled out. I had Prime loaded at the time.
I tried to get the TF into APX mode to nvflash (blindly as there was no display) back to stock. I could hear the unit went to APX mode (thru the PC's speaker). Nvflash saw the unit but couldnot finish loading the bootloader.ini.
I suggest you to try the same and maybe got better luck.
Anyway, I returned (took the chance) the unit with Prime still on it. They didnot find out eventhought they didnot replace anything but putting back the stock ROM, saying NoTroubleFound (the story didnot ended here ---> another RMA).

Hi, Ok..So I left it plugged into overnight and through the day (about 18 hours) and it charged to 60%. This gave me a chance to test a couple of things; the first thing I did was to install another ROM, in this case, Revolver.
Once it had finished installing...it booted fine, and guess what...The charging worked!!! YEY for Revolver!
I can only assume by this that the Prime ROM I was using somehow managed to get corrupt and kill the battery AND not allow charging.
I am so so so glad that the Revolver ROM has sorted things. I may go back to Prime though as I have never had problems before and like the ROM.
Cheers guys for all the help that was offered!

Ok...Spoke to soon! It isnt charging from the mains, so now I do suspect the charger. However the reason I initially thought the problem was fixed is that when I plug the tablet, into the dock, the battery charging light flashes on the dock?!?!?
Almost as if the tablet is charging the dock, but I didnt think this was possible?
Oh I dont know anymore, my little brain is getting all confused!

I'm pretty sure that light flashes regardless, when the tab is mounted to the dock, but don't quote me on that. Also, try the freezer trick, seems like to me that your charger isn't quite 100% dead. put it in a zip lock bag and toss it in the freezer for half an hour and then try it again.

Ermm.....Really...This one I have never heard before. What is freezing it supposed to do? And surely that would cause more harm then good?
Or is it April Fools *check calendar*...Nope!

Oh my lord! This actually worked! lol. I have to admit to being a bit skeptical but thanks for the advice, I appreciate it loads!

No problem man, it has to do with a built in temp switch in the charger. You'll still need a replacement but at least you are operating now. Like I said previously,I recommend the radio shack 12v charger with USB end, its the enercell 12v adapter cat# 273-358.

Wont charge since ICS update

My tf101 stopped charging when I updated to ics. After the first rom I flashed wouldn't recognize being connected to my computer via usb for storage I downloaded and flashed the version from this threat (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1334673). The usb storage works fine now but my device won't charge at all while it's on. I know it won't charge with the screen on connected to the pc. But this isn't that. Even plugged into the wall it will not charge unless the device is turned off completely. If it's off and I plug it into the wall it boots up and doesn't charge, I have to manually shut it down while it's connected to the wall charger.
Any ideas? Any help is appreciated.

I was having that too. I was like wtf.. Lol I found that plugging it in and then maually turning of the screen, and then unplugging it and then plugging it back in would turn the screen back on and then it would charge while screen was on. I thought my cord was die'n. Lol

I'm having this to. what's the cause. what's the fix. what the hell....
after nandroiding revolver 4.00, I wiped and flashed EOS nightly. then it wouldny charge. I super wiped with script and restored nandroid and still no go unless I shut down manually. i m starting to think excessive flashing is detrimental to this thing. I already have issues with speakers between OS's out of the blue.
anyway why no charge? help is appreciated.

Have you tried trickle charging from your PC?

That will not work

I've had trouble with mine picking up that the charger has been plugged in as well. I'm happy to get ics but Asus does need to update some of the bugs.

Hi,
I have a TF101 as well. I cannot get the screen or dock to charge. I've tried everything suggested on this thread but to no avail.
I really need a solution to this. I've switch off the tablet for now since it's down to 18%. I've not tried the erase data option yet, does anyone know if this would help at all?
Thanks for any suggestions you might have.

iMy tablet would only charge when off after flashing an ics rom. After much research and near nervous breakdown, I did a lot of research. Mostly on asustransformerforum where there is an extensive thread about this. Since it would charge, just when off, clearly it wasn't the device, firmware (cuz if flashed different roms) or the cable.
With help from the aforementioned forum, I realizd it was the charging brick.
I went to best buy and got a dynex universal camera and camcorder charger that is adjustable to 11.0 v, which is the minimum that the tab will recognize while on.
It is now charging. Charger was 30$
Hope this helps

I checked the voltage on my charger and made sure the cables were ok - fiddly job. After they checked out ok (as I was certain they would) I did the full factory reset and cold booted a couple of times.
All of a sudden it just started charging as normal. Yay!
I can only assume it was an app that was causing the issue though i have no idea which one it may have been.
If in doubt - factory reset - is the way to go it seems.

[Q] Infuse won't charge.

Got an Infuse 4G from my neighbor ( He switched from ATT to Verizon knew I needed a phone so he was kind enough to give it to me) and now the phone doesn't charge. What can I do?

Chances are, you have a bad charger or a bad battery.

Either that or a broken usb port. You could be surprise on how many galaxy phones get no charge because of the usb charging port. Its very sensitive and it can be broken quite easily. But if you give more details maybe we can help. Does it responds when you connect it or it wont do anything at all?

can you plug into the computer and it stays connected with no issues or problems...if yes, then your port on the phone should be good
batteries do have a life span...and they are cheap on ebay...I got 2 2000 with charge for less than $20 bucks...great deal
prob is your battery if you wanna stay oem battery same thing you can get them at good prices on eBay and Amazon

Infuse Wont stay on or charge
Hello, maybe someone can help me here. My infuse suddenly won't charge or turn on at all. When I plug in the USB cable from my computer or the wall the battery icon comes on with the animated loading circle thing then goes off after about a second of doing that. When I do a hard reset with or without the battery in it and with or without the charger plugged in, the same thing happens.
Its been several days since this has been happening and after trying again today, it actually turned on and booted to the OS and was charging for about 5 mins before it stopped recognizing the charger. I pulled the battery and it since will not turn on. The battery has some charge on it but will not turn the phone on, just does the weird battery thing as described above.
I have tried several different charging cables, but have no other battery to try. Any suggestions?

Hello i had the same problem awhile back. When my phone was not rooted(Infuse) i had to go to recovery mode and wipe cache after that the charger recognized right away on the phone.
Another time After i rooted i flashed a bad rom and i could not get my phone to charge while it was off. It could only charge with the phone on....SO maybe try flashing a newer better ROM i recommend CM10.
Another thing i had to do was switch this old charger i had it would recognize for 5 min then Stop. It was just a bad wire connection.

The problem is I cannot get it to turn on at all. I was running CM10 and have tried 4 different charger/usb cables.

Sadly, the connection of this device is a known weak spot.. if its not doing anything when connected to some form of current.. all signs point to a dead port..
Hopefully that isn't the case..

I also went through this issue and i discovered that it will keep going through a battery icon and then off loop so the way to deal with this is as soon as you see the battery picture just hold the power button for like 2 or 3 seconds and then you should see the battery green indicator with the botton dots animation and it will Charge.

I am having the same issue as xtz as well. I cant get it to turn on. I flashed the Paranoid Android rom and it all went downhill from there. I flashed it and it had 10% battery left, by the end of the night it was at 1%. I went to bed and woke up with it only at 5%. I went back to stock then re-rooted it. I installed CWM but it wouldn't let me go into CWM recovery, only the Android recovery. Now the phone won't turn on at all, I have swapped batteries and USB cords with no luck. This is a brand new unit less than a week old, the battery is also less than 2 weeks old. Any help here? It won't turn on at all It does the same little ritual that xtz's does.

I had the same thing with mine when I first got it (used), I plugged it into the wall with a 2amp charger, left it overnight, and in the morning it was on and charged.

I already tried that and it seems to have messed up one of the batteries. The little loading circle will come on for a split second then it will go away, come back a few seconds later and it just loops. I plugged in the USB while holding the volume keys to try and get it into download mode but I'll get a warning message saying something about installing a different OS being dangerous, again, for a split second, and shuts off. It seems like the phone can't have any power go through it for more than a split second.

I'm having a similar issue with the phone not charging. But the phone won't PC or wall charger. But check this out I have a jigg for putting device in download mode when I connect it to phone. The phones goes in to download now when powered on. So what do guys think is wrong?

From the info you provided: the phone is not charging but the jig works.

Do I need a new battery or does it sound like the USB port shot?

Same thing happened to my daughters galaxy s2. Usb port is shot. I got her a battery wall charger and a couple spare batteries. Charged the battery, popped it in and turned right on.

T310 charging problem

Bought my tab t310 last july. A few months ago plugged in the original cable/wall charger to charge but nothing happened. Restarting allows normal charging. It happens intermittently. Tab is rooted, stock rom. Any ideas what can be wrong with it? Time to RMA and look for something different?

Maybe a physical problem with the plug on the tablet. I have caught myself trying to force the charger cable up-side-down into the tab. maybe you did that unknowingly. If you think it's software, i recommend trying the Galatab3 Kernel, it allows the tab to charge from the wall and USB.

I never forced the plug the wrong way, charge only from the wall using the original cable/adapter because pc usb 2.0 doesn't charge it and my other chargers have lower amps. No physical damage. Maybe it has something to do with root? I'll look into that kernel but don't want to make things worse in case i have to RMA. Happens intermittently, restarting makes charging work.

no, this is a known problem with the t310. It happens to me as well. I think it happens if the % drops below 10%. Its like the USB port goes on deep sleep. I think there's a thread somewhere were somebody RMA and it still did it after it came back.

[Q] Droid Maxx Developer Edition reboots over and over

Hello there,
I am hoping you can help me. I bought a Droid Maxx Developer Edition rooted with the bootloader unlocked on the stock rom about a month ago on ebay used. It worked great up until a few weeks ago when I dropped it. It was only from a height of about 3 feet on to a carpeted floor. It had a case and screen protector on it but when I picked it back up I couldn't get it to turn on at first. When I finally did get it to turn on it would just flash the bootloader unlocked warning and the battery indicator at 0% over and over. So I read around and saw that I needed to get an factory adapter to be able to save it. I got the adapter on Friday and I played around with it some and was able to get it to boot the phone properly but still wasn't able to charge the phone. When I just had my charging cable I was only able to get it into fastboot mode and it would say the battery was low. Now with the adapter it says the battery is ok but still doesn't charge. When I dropped it had at least 70% battery. I am hoping I can recover all my data since I can get it booted up now. Though I am not sure how since the droid maxx doesn't have a sd card. I was thinking and please correct me if this doesn't work but I was thinking maybe I could boot up the phone on the factory cable and then place it on the wireless charger to maybe charge it. I haven't tried it yet since I was afraid to burn up something. I was also reading that there were some roms you could flash that wouldn't hurt your data. I wasn't sure if they were for this phone or for others. That would be nice if I could to that.
I want to try and recover this phone if possible since it is a developer edition and Motorola no longer carry's them. Not that it matters since I have no warranty with them since I did't buy it new. I would bet it was out of warranty when I bought it anyway. Any help or productive suggestions is greatly appreciated.

That sounds to me like s cracked logic board or maybe something on the inside is ripped. I recently bought a mini that was badly bent out of shape...after replacing a battery LCD digitizer frame ear piece, the device would boot only to cool down mode. So a logic swap got me a working phone, if you can get into fastboot.. You may be able to pull files. But I am not too sure

OTG works to get data off or just use android file transfer (Mac). USB mass storage works as is on windows.

Sorry for my ignorance but what is OTG? I will have to try switching to mass storage mode since I have a PC. Is it possible to transfer something over the communications server that is loaded?

See my x/ultra page below. Near the bottom for OTG. Windows it just works in mtp.

What happens when you boot to fastboot with just the usb cable attached to a wall charger? do you get the "charging" message in fastboot? or just Low Battery?
edit: the reason i ask is because I had a similar problem once, where i thought the phone was fubar'd cause I couldnt get it to boot, or show anything when plugged into the wall, but i left it overnight and when i got back in the am it worked. the only thing that could get my phone to boot previously was my factory cable

Search XDA for OTG!

My first attempt to revive the phone I plugged it into the wall with the usb cable and when I booted it up into fastboot mode it said charging. Unfortunately I couldn't leave well enough alone and kept trying to get it to fully boot. When I finally stopped trying and tried to get it into fast boot and get it to charge, it would only say low battery. Then the other day when I got the factory adapter I plugged it in and booted to fast boot and it still said battery low. Then in an attempt to see if the factory adapter would let me transfer files over I plugged it into my PC. I was amazed that it booted up fully. I was excited and I looked it over and didn't see any damage from the fall. The battery indicator widget showed it was plugged in but only 1% and not charging. So I thought I would try fast boot mode with the adapter plugged in. When it booted into fast boot mode this time it said battery ok. I was so happy. So I left it plugged in all day to let it charge. When I finally got home and unplugged it, still dead.
So now that I read your suggestion of plugging it into the wall, I gave it a try since I hadn't tried it since using the adapter. I booted into fast boot and got low battery again. Then I came up with the idea to plug it into my PC. I booted into fast boot and now it is charging!!! I don't want to get my hopes up because I have been disappointed before. It is something new at least. I am, let's just say cautiously optimistic.

Then I came up with the idea to plug it into my PC. I booted into fast boot and now it is charging!!! I don't want to get my hopes up because I have been disappointed before. It is something new at least. I am, let's just say cautiously optimistic.

Good luck, please keep us posted. I know when it happened to me, it was crazy annoying trying to get it to charge. as long as you have "charging" you should be okay!

Unfortunately while it said charging...It wasn't. My heart sank after leaving it on to charge all day and when I booted from fast boot and it just started boot looping again. Sigh.
Well that wasn't my last option so I am trying to stay positive. Is there a way to flash the stock rom on it and not lose my data? Honestly I have never flashed any roms before so this will be fun. lol
I really appreciate everyone's help.

Does fastboot still say 1% battery??
Google up on House of Moto, its a CMD/Shell based tool that allows you to flash a FXZ with the "keep data" option. Let me know if you have any specific questions regarding HOM once you DL

Fast boot without the adapter connected to the PC says Battery Low (charging)
Fast boot with the adapter connected to the PC says Battery OK
Fast boot with/without adapter plugged into the wall says Battery Low
With the adapter and plugged into my PC I can boot into the phone and the battery widget still says 1%.
The battery icon that pops up during the boot loop still says 0%
Ok I am just getting off work now so I will give that a try once I get home. Crossing my fingers and hoping this works.

where was the phone dropped, was it directly on the bottom where the USB would plug into the phone?
